A labelled wet and dry bag - for bringing soiled clothes home

A re-useable water bottle to be kept at nursery (these are put through the dishwasher every evening).

A spare set of clothes (with child's name clearly labelled inside) to change into if they get messy

A bottle for milk

Formula or EBM

Nappies - either for the day or in bulk

Wipes - either for the day or in bulk

Nappy Cream

A special toy/ comforter for under 3’s (please note that in-line with Safe Sleep guidance, babies under a year old will not be able to have these with them for sleep).

For children who are potty training we ask for 4 spare sets of underwear and bottoms please – your child will be busy and easily distracted at nursery and so we expect more accidents than at home in the early stages of potty training

Your child should please attend nursery in clothes that can get messy – our children love messy play and craft, and ‘best’ clothes could easily be spoilt.

Clothing should be comfortable and enable your child to move freely. Our children climb, jump, run and play – they need to be able to do this without restriction.

Indoor closed toed shoes or slippers – we want our children to feel at home in nursery, and a no outside shoe rule helps keep our indoor spaces clean. Bare feet or socks however are not the safest with some activities and so some footwear is required.

Closed toed shoes or boots – our children play outside every day and so they need footwear that are suitable outside for the weather.

Welly boots – it can rain anytime of the year – and wellies mean we can embrace outside play whatever the weather. If your child can toddle, we ask for a pair of wellies to be kept in nursery please so we are always good to go!

A seasonal hat – in summer we need a sun hat and in winter a woolly hat please.

A jacket or coat – in Spring and Summer please provide a light rain jacket and in Autumn and Winter, a warm coat and waterproof trousers or a waterproof all-in-one.

Waterproof trousers or an all in one suit.

Mittens for winter on a string connected to your child’s coat. Fingered gloves are too challenging for children to use independently and so mittens are much better for this age group.
